Mods could start tossing out temp bans for repeatedly beating the "fire-a-coach" dead horse..

What a perfect liberal world you live in lol

LOL. I agree. I'm not a fan of free speech restrictions just because one has a different viewpoint.

For the record, I am not among those that are calling for Jeff's head on a platter. That said, I'm also not satisfied with where everything is or has been recently with ODU basketball. Biggest reason that I feel that way is because the level of accomplishments overall has fallen from what it was in the prior decade. While there have been a few peaks under Jeff Jones, there have been even more valleys. Overall, I am not as dissatisfied with where things are as some on here appear to be, nor am I as satisfied as many on here appear to be.

I'm encouraged by things like what on paper is a couple of good recruiting classes, the development of Trey Porter, and Jones making some headway in going against his tendencies - i.e. increasing the offensive tempo and mixing in some zone defense more than he has before.

I'm really hoping that Jones can land the viable center that he is pursuing, be it a freshman, or an experienced grad transfer. Assuming that he is able to do that and everything else holds together (no unexpected departures of significant players), then there really would be little reason for Jones not to have whatever level of success he is capable of achieving at ODU. At that point he could more accurately be judged as good enough or not by the ODU faithful.
